As the experiences of developed countries show, the flourish of small and medium enterprises is one of the most fundamental prerequisite for the national prosperity. For many years, Chinese government has been striving to create an entrepreneurial environment for the small and medium high-tech enterprises, and has made considerable progress. However, it should also be noted that, due to the imbalance in regional economic development, and the difference among people’s perspective and understanding of issues, such as how to effectively support the growth of small and medium enterprises, etc., great disparities still exist in the innovation and entrepreneurial environment among cities in our country. In China, where the entrepreneurial environment is better? And for the startup of small and medium high-tech enterprises, where will be relatively easier? To answer this question, Tus-Holdings Innovation Institute of Tsinghua University has released "China Urban Innovation and Entrepreneurship Environmental Assessment Report" for four consecutive years, and has accordingly issued "Chinese Urban Innovation and Entrepreneurial Environment Ranking” for four consecutive years since 2011. "

 “Chinese Urban Innovation and Entrepreneurial Environment Ranking” is based on the two decades’ innovative service experiences of TusPark, taking the eight new elements “government, industry, university, research, finance, intermediaries, trade and media” as the principal evaluation indexes. On this basis, Tus-Holdings Innovation Research Institute of Tsinghua University solicited the opinions widely from over 30 experts of different fields from domestic and foreign universities, research institutions, parks and government departments, etc., including 13 international experts, and 17 domestic experts.
